Ninja was found on the streets of Greece covered in dirt, wounds, and paralyzed from the waist down. He had been shot and left on his own to suffer. Local shelter staff organized Ninja’s rescue and brought him to the veterinary hospital to further assess his injuries.

Doctors performed surgery to remove the bullet lodged near Ninja’s spine and care for his wounds. After being cleared by the vet, he was brought to the shelter. Part of Ninja’s post-surgery treatment requires physiotherapy, which has improved his condition significantly since starting. Now, he can use the litterbox on his own!

We need your help. With further treatment, Ninja could take his first steps since being shot, but this process could take several months. Will you help cover the cost of Ninja’s medical care and other injured cats in Greece?

Help Ninja get back on track after devastating gunshot injury!

In late 2023, Greater Good Charities were approached by groups working in the city of Xanthi, Northern Greece, to assist in the support of over 600 pets seeking out an existence in and around a municipal rubbish site. Since then, working alongside the Animal Rescue Site and community partners, they have provided food, specialist medical care, funded high quality spay-neuter services and supported foster and adoption for dozens of pets.

Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, Greater Good Charities and the Animal Rescue Site are in the process of deepening our commitment to the pets of Xanthi, ensuring every animal has the support it needs. We are also expanding our reach to several new areas within Greece, supporting both cats and dogs in need.

Ninja is just one of the many pets we're helping in Greece, but we can't cover his ongoing care without your support. Help us meet our goal of $4,000 for Ninja and pets like him.
